Sam Levitt has committed and decided to sign with Lane Kiffin and LSU.

0:07.9

After Brendan Sorsby committed to Texas Tech, we see the news that On 3 broke.

0:12.5

Welcome to Crane and Cone from On 3.

0:14.7

Make sure you're subscribed that Trinidad, if he does get that extra year,

0:17.8

is going to stay with Pete Golding at Ole Miss.

0:22.0

Cohn, I'm going to be honest with you.

0:23.3

And you played quarterback in the Big Ten.

0:25.7

When Sam Levin announced he was going in the transfer portal, to me, he's the number one

0:29.9

quarterback in the portal.

0:31.1

I have thought that.

0:32.1

I know he got injured.

0:33.5

But when it comes down to just ability and moxie and having that dog in you that we talk about, I mean, what box does Sam Levitt not checked? I mean, where does he rank to you? With all the quarterbacks that we see in the portal, where does he rank to you? Well, I agree with you right up there near the top, top three for sure. And not just his ability to, you ability to be effective through the air.

0:55.2

But I mean, when he gets going on the ground, he's one of the best quarterbacks in the country from that standpoint, too.

1:02.0

And I just love watching him play.

1:03.8

Now, there is one point I want to bring up here, which is there was such an underdog mentality playing for Kenny Dillingham at Arizona State. And now, you know, what Lane Kiffin's doing at LSU, it does feel a little bit like the dark side of the force, right, from Star Wars. I wonder how that's going to affect his play in sort of who's rooting for him. Because if you want to be a critic of Sam Levitt, you could say two years ago he had Cam Scadabo, easy to turn around and hand the

1:28.1

football off to that guy. And then this past year played in, what was it, seven full games,

1:32.3

half the schedule. But again, I've seen enough football from him that I understand his ability,

1:39.0

both through the air and on the ground. And honestly, at this point, it's like, give Lane Kiffin a signal

1:43.3

caller from anywhere. Look at this. I mean, you know, we thought, we thought that, you know, he leads Jackson Dart to being the all-time passing leader at Ole Miss, thought Simmons was going to be the heir apparent to that. He takes a division two quarterback in Trinidad, Chambleauce and has him, what, top six, top seven in the Heisman trophy voting. So his ability to develop quarterbacks is really second to none at this point. Yeah, Blaine, that's the other part of this. Sam Levin on his own, I think it's an unbelievable football player. I think he's a tough ass. I think he can do everything you ask him to do. And he's a guy I would trust in the moment. You put him with the dark wizard, Lane Kiffin? of darkness coming then what but i mean it's the truth

2:18.8

what that combination to me is lethal it is absolutely because he knows how to call games and prepare

2:25.9

a quarterback to play to his strengths but when your quarterback has nothing but strengths i mean now it's

2:31.6

it's the whole menus it's not the brunch menu it's not the lunch menu it's not the brunch menu. It's not the lunch menu.
